Tilda bag

This is my entry for the current Embellish Magazine challenge, sponsored by It's In The Bag. The challenge is to use gray, black, dark pink and light pink and to embellish a bag. I started with a plain brown lunch-sack style treat bag, and mounted a black and pink patterned layer on the front. Then, I used the Nesties Labels die to cut a window, that I then put a piece of acetate behind. I stamped Tilda with tights in Versafine and colored her with Bic Mark It pens. After she was all colored, I cut her out and mounted her on the edge of the window, so you can see her around the treats inside. (there are currently no treats inside, because I didn't have anything suitable in the house)

The sentiment is from SU! Yummy, and I stamped it first with Versafine black then used the stamp-a-ma-jig and stamped the word "yummy" in Pixie Pink. The pearls are from Queen & Co. The wide satin gray ribbon is from my stash.

I love how it came out! Thanks for looking!

My First Tilda

The Stamping Gals have issued their first weekly challenge - Out of the Box. I am entering this card because it contains several elements that are outside my usual comfort zone. I used the bright orchid paper, watercolored my image, and also cut out the image and layered her on pop-dots for dimension. Not to mention the microbeaded heart that I have used only once before, despite the hearts being in my stash forever! I hope they like it!

I have seen these Tilda stamps around and have not ordered any for myself. Then Karin sent me some stamped images for my birthday. Some of them are stamped on watercolor paper, and this Tilda was SO fun to watercolor!!


She is sitting upon a micro-bead and glitter covered heart, which doesn't show up well against the scalloped rectangle. It looks kind of like a purple heart cloud to me. But IRL it's nice and sparkly :)

The sentiment in the upper right corner is from Verve. The dp is from a great K & Co pad in my stash. Tilda is mounted on foam tape for dimension. Karin sent more images, and I can't wait to color them. I have the new Bic Mark-It markers that I haven't tried yet. My poor Prismacolor pencils are getting dusty as I play with watercoloring and other coloring media.

Don't forget to go HERE for blog candy in celebration of my blogaversary!! Have a good day. Thanks for looking!
